Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup pomegranate seeds (from 1 medium pomegranate)
1 shallot
1 Granny Smith apple or Bosc pear

2 ounces soft goat cheese or feta (omit for vegan)

Steps:

  • Cut and seed the pomegranate.
  • Thinly slice the shallot. Thinly slice the apple (and toss it with 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar if desired to prevent browning).
  • Toast the pecans (don't skip: this brings out the nutty flavor). Alternatively, make glazed pecans.
